Good morning everyone. I am experiencing a few bumps, of the unusual kind. I am not cheating, per se, but I am having a very difficult time eating everything that I am supposed to eat, and taking all of my vitamins. Yesterday and today, well I feel rather crumby. I think that I just do not really feel like eating, kind of lost interest...do not know how to explain it. I am really tired and lethargic. I have a lot to do, otherwise I would take a big old nap!
I am making sure that I am eating my protein and drinking...but the veges have gone south...probably eating about 2 cups instead of four.
What's going on? Has anyone ever felt like this for a few days? I have been doing the salt lick, and that helps a little.
I feel like my body is just catching up with the weight loss and maybe I just feel less energetic because I need to rest?
I love you all and hope that you are having a Fantastical day!

maybe try a NEW veggie...have you had kale chips yet??
I am hoping that I can inspire someone, since I've only been at this for 13 weeks, I still feel kinda like a newbie even though i'm not. Fortunately for me I don't have days that I want to deviate from the IP protocol. I don't even think about cheating, the program was made to work, we are told that it won't work if you don't stick to it, just that simple. Some people think that they can fudge a little cheat here and there and be ok, but isn't that how we all have acted before in diets that were just mediocre? In the end we've failed when we didn't give it 100%. I am doing IP 100% and it is working beautifully for me just like they told me it would and I'm so very glad! In the end "if it aint broke, why try to fix it??"
Oh by the way I average 3 lbs a week so the occasional 5 lbs lost is a bonus!
Girl, you are NO LONGER a newbie!!!!!!!! You ARE one of those INCREDIBLY inspiring people that we all look forward to hearing from!!!!
Hi IPers,
I have been away awhile but only because I have been sick with a summer cold and not very upbeat.
Sounds like many of you are having great weight losses and I am very happy for you all. I am down 4 lbs this week and 1 lb last week. So I am trucking along and staying OP. Miss you all so much but I hate to be a Debby downer so I stay away if I cannot be 100% positive.
Love you all! And continued good job to all!

Yes, I have experienced this. I try to take it easy...and I HAVE taken naps...they can really help!
I think it will pass. Some days I have energy, and some days I just don't. Keep doing your best, and try to ignore it...
or
take a nap!

Cheating on IP is an expensive detour that I don't care to take

So Wednesday was the first day I had really felt any hunger while being on IP. Normally I would have given into it and gone on a binge but instead I just drank more water and stayed 100% OP. Well that night I had a crazy dream that I was eating off plan and not even realizing it until after I ate it. I was so upset in my dream but then when I woke up I was so happy it didn't actually happen. Later that day I realized what was causing this TOM. This is the first TOM in a long time maybe even ever that I have been able to control myself with food. Yay for me! Hope everyone has a great day!
I can't wait to "testify", thank you I have had a few dreams that I was eating stuff that I used to eat, it's kinda scary until you realize you have NOT cheated, then you are so relieved!
